feed the community

We are a small food pantry and emerging community food center in the Four Corners region in Cortez, Colorado, and we work hard to meet the need for food where we live.

Your support is the reason we are able to work, grow, serve and respond to food insecurity in our community. Thank you for being part of this collective effort to make sure we all have enough good food to eat.

It is our mission to ensure we all have equitable access to healthy food and supportive connections while working together to build a more just food system.

We leverage funding, partnerships, food rescue efforts, individual contributions & food donations to offer local, culturally-important & nutritious food while providing volunteer and workshop opportunities to increase food access and autonomy, build knowledge and create sustainable community connections.

Your financial support also helps us purchase food wholesale at a lower cost than retail.

Soon, we plan to expand our garden education program, deepen our community leadership, develop and implement nutrition and cooking/preservation classes and plan cultural community gatherings, too. We are also working diligently as part of the Four Corners Food Coalition to create a community food center & hub in the warehouse space at 30 N Beech.
